Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Before you begin painting, use the line drawings and grid included in your pack to outline the composition. The grid will help you replicate the painting's layout accurately, ensuring that all elements are proportionally accurate.

Background and Sky

  1. Mix Colors: Begin by mixing shades of blue and pink for the sky, aiming for a gradient effect from light to dark.
  2. Apply Paint: Using a broad flat brush, paint the sky starting from the horizon and blend upwards using horizontal strokes.
  3. Add Clouds: Use a softer brush to add warm white and pastel hues for the clouds, creating a sense of movement.

Cliffs

  1. Base Layer: Use darker browns and purples for the base of the cliffs. Apply with a medium brush and allow some texture to show.
  2. Details: Add layers of lighter tones, such as oranges and reds, to highlight the sunlit areas.
  3. Refinement: Use a fine brush to add details and shadows, enhancing the crevices and rugged appearances.

Sun and Ocean

  1. Sun: Paint the sun with a bright yellow and blend outwards with white to create a glowing effect.
  2. Ocean Base: Use varying blues and greens with sweeping horizontal brush strokes.
  3. Waves: Add white on the crest of the waves to capture the light reflections.

Beach

  1. Sand Colors: Mix warm tones with streaks of blues and purples for a patterned effect.
  2. Apply Layers: Use short, distinct brushstrokes to mimic the texture of sand.
  3. Add Pebbles: Integrate small stones in blacks and browns, and use shadows beneath them to enhance realism.

Final Touches

  • Blending: Use a soft, dry brush to gently blend any harsh lines in the sky and water.
  • Highlights: Add small touches of white and pale yellow to areas where light is most reflected.
  • Review: Step back and evaluate your painting. Make adjustments to ensure the balance of color and detail.

Remember, the joy of the painting process lies in your personal interpretation. Embrace the vibrant colors, the dynamic forms, and enjoy bringing Sandwood Bay to life on your canvas!
